Prerequisites
10 Hours: Pilates experience
Students can count any classes or private Pilates sessions they have already taken. Online class resources such as CarriePagesPilates.com or Pilates Anytime are also acceptable.

Weekend Seminars
20 Hours: Course Contact Hours
Students must be present for 100% of the weekend seminar. No refunds (partial or full) will be made if the student misses any of the weekend seminars. See enrollment agreement for more details on our refund policy.

Personal Practice
15 hours: Self Directed Personal Practice (submitted after the training weekend)
Personal practice means practicing the exercises on your own without outside instruction or along with videos. This helps the student get Pilates in their body by having to focus on the details of the exercises.

Practice Teaching

The practice teaching hours can be fulfilled by teaching a friend, a small group in your home or a scheduled class at a studio or gym.* All 15 hours must be completed to receive your certificate.
